As could be expected for a game of this description, Command & Conquer: Rivals got immediate and overwhelmingly negative reactions on social media, forums, fansites, the C&C subreddit, and Discord. It hasn't even been a full day since the announcement at EA Play 2018, and the #NotMyCnC hashtag has already exploded on Twitter.

Here at CNCNZ.com, we will continue to cover all news regarding Command & Conquer: Rivals as we have for every other official game in the past, despite everyone's sentiments towards the game, including our own that mirror everything linked above, as it is our duty as a fansite to bring you the latest news on Command & Conquer, whatever they may be. Relatedly, we have just opened a page on our gallery for C&C Rivals concept art and renders, and will keep the gallery updated as more assets become available.

Okay now this is just sad. C&C has become like a former heavyweight world champion boxer, best in class, whose boss mismanaged his career and pushed him beyond the breaking point into a string of defeats--a jaded shell of his former self--and now he gets trotted out every few years by his manager to sell home fitness equipment and time shares at retirement homes and casinos because his name is still recognizable. Leave it in the grave.

I still wouldn't put it past EA to do that though. We get plenty of mobile ports to Steam these days as it is. If the execs up high think they can press for a slightly modified PC version of the same game for more profit and little turn around? They'll do it alright.

EA's metrics probably say something different. Despite there not being much of an audience within the core fanbase of the franchise, it will probably (and unfortunately) find an audience with casual mobile gamers who play games like Clash of Clans and Mobile Strike. that's the audience I bet they are wanting to poach and C&C seems (to EA) a big enough name to throw into the mobile scene to get those players.

Data does lie sometimes, but unfortunately I think EA might make bank on this despite the core community's dissent.
